20 years of coaching experience; certifications in Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong; Speech-Language Pathologist; fluent in English
I have over 18 years of teaching experience helping swimmers of all ages develop confidence, skills, and a lifelong love of the water. I hold swim instructor certifications from Canada (Lifesaving Society), Australia, and Hong Kong, and I am a Speech-Language Pathologist.
As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I understand how children learn and communicate. I use patient, positive, and individualized teaching methods that help swimmers feel comfortable, motivated, and successful in every lesson. I adapt to each swimmer's goals — whether water safety, stroke development, competitive training, or overcoming water anxiety.
Located in the heart of Port Moody, just moments from the skytrain with ample street parking is a warm, family friendly pool perfect for children learning to swim and adults looking to advance their skills. The shallow side has a ladder for entry and is great for young children and beginning swimmers at 3 feet deep. A subtle slope leading to the deepest part of the pool at 8 feet is great to practice more advanced skills. With a brand new heater installed, the pool is kept at 86F (30C) perfect for those just learning to swim. We have a newly renovated bathroom right off the pool deck and pool deck changing pods for those who want to change quick before and after lessons. Shower available upon request.
Pool access details are provided after you book.
